Ignition Coil Refurbishment Possible? Fuel/Ignition Issue

[dkenn]

Hey y'all,

Finally got my bike up and running and pretty much finished last month and she was riding good for a while then I started having fuel and idling problems---so unique i know. I ended up cleaning the tank rust out and carbs completely and cleared out the jets. The bike then ran decent after that, but now won't sustain an idle again with or without choke. The spark plugs get flooded/fouled easily it seems. Idle screw adjusted correctly. Float bowls good. Etc etc. The left muffler has a weaker pressure coming out of it when compared to the right muffler.

TLDR: found out my ignition coils, spark plug caps, and the cable in between them are all corroded on the left side. The right side coil is a bit rusted at where the cable screws in. On the left cap, the multimeter reads 30 ohms, compared with the supposed 5 ohms.

Two questions:

1. Do you think my "fuel" problem is really an ignition problem due to the corrosion in the spark plug cap and ignition coil? Would a weak spark cause a struggle to idle?
2. If this is the case (or maybe I should anyway) can I refurbish my ignition coils well enough to avoid buying new ones? See attached images.

Okay. I finally got her in a good place to idle with the carbs. But i guess the question now is — do I save the ignition coil replacement/refurb for winter? Lol

Cleaning the coils up, testing them and replacing the high tension leads is a one hour project, two if you use it as an excuse to be in the shop drinking a beer or two. Why wait?

Can't argue with that! Thank you
